In a corner of the forest that rarely gets attention, a tiny creature was flaunting its beauty. There, I found a red cotton bug scurrying about on a branch of a shrub. There were actually many red cotton bugs perched on the same shrub, but they all fled when I approached their habitat. Only one didn't flee; it was leisurely strolling on the branch. I immediately turned on my camera to capture the beautiful moment.
He kept walking, thinking he was going to leave like his friends. I was wrong. He was heading for a leaf at the end of a branch. When he got there, he stood still, as if saying to me, "Hurry up and take a picture while I'm posing nicely." This attitude captivated me even more. I couldn't stop complimenting him. Judging by his bright, spotless color, he was clearly a young bird. He was dressed very handsomely. He wore an orange-red suit with black buttons. His tie was jet black, further enhancing his dashing appearance.
